Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I almost cancelled these masks because of the reviews but realised people are annoying and you have to take what they say with a grain of salt including my review. I need these for work because we can no longer wear handmade masks. Here is my blunt review: 1) These masks arrived a day early, which says more about the hardworking, underpaid employees at Amazon Fulfilment than the actual company that manufactured/distributed these masks. 2) The masks do not have “little holes” in them. When you look closely, those perforations are actually covered with a thin filter. These masks pass the “flame test” and “perfume/scent test”. That means I cannot blow out a flame and can barely smell perfume when sprayed. 3) they have a “storage” smell even though they are sealed in a resealable plastic. How do you solve this problem? Take them out the packaging let them acclimate (adjust) to the smell of your house/office for at least 24hrs. A “storage smell” makes sense when things are manufactured in bulk and sit somewhere in a storeroom for a long time. I cannot identify the smell but it’s not offensive. 4) mask dimensions: the mask measured across the face at the largest part (ear to ear) is 21cm (8.27in) It is 37cm (14.57inches) from top to bottom. The ear loops are 20cm (7.87inches). These measurements are consistent with the masks in the package. In other words—this mask is HUGE! It basically covers my entire adult size face. 5) The people who complained that the mask is too small have large/wide faces and this mask may not fit. Before you buy ANY mask on the internet measure your face! 6) I do not know if these pass the “baking test”. A process used to sterilise N95 masks for reuse at approximately 100°C. I will try it out and see how they hold up.
